Sylvain Poirier's homepage
(this site is more developed in
French than in
English).
Here is a list of the main parts of this site:
1) Physics and mathematics
2) Software project to make a better world
3) Philosophy (about religion and more)
4) My PhD work on
Vassiliev invariants of links (on another page - that will only
interest mathematicians specialised in knot theory -
something of this work remains to be better written and published
but I do not intend to make more research in this direction in the
future.)
Take-off towards mathematical physics
is the title of my site in French, and reflects the largest part of it.
I wrote there a new presentation of Special
Relativity theory, with long explanations of how to understand this
theory intuitively using the spatial intuition to represent time. Then
I wrote presentations of relativistic mechanics, statistical mechanics
and entropy, and an introduction to quantum mechanics with the EPR
paradox. Also, I presented affine geometry and some concepts at the
foundations of mathematics.
See here my introduction to quantum physics.
The objective is to provide a deep and efficient understanding, so as
to give interested students the means to learn them more rapidly than
in the usual curriculum.
Ideas and software project for a better world
See the general summary of the project here: Infoliberalism
My money theory article draft.
Political details
(principles to
make a free political order without governments using internet). Mostly
as much developed in English than in French (except for remarks on
money theory that are still only in French and that anyway I intend to
develop in the future).
An idea of business model for copyleft projects development
Start of implementation: the trust-forum software project
See the project
description to know the goals of this project: roughly, it is a new
kind of web-based mailing system (unifying the concepts of webmail
and forum) that will to put a final
end to the spam problem and to provide a free dating service, using
trust declarations between users. It will be under LGPL licence at
sourceforge.
Sorry I have had bad luck with programmers. If you are a programmer and
you want to help, you are welcome.
To have an idea of how it should work what it would be useful to,
please see the
user
documentation.
(though not filling yet the complete initial plans; other parts
will
come later)
I a written some texts of philosophy in French, with only the below translated
into English.
Here are the translated texts:
Criticism of Neale
Donald Walsch's Conversations with God
Criticism of the Zeitgeist movement
Criticism of the
foundations of Evangelical Christianity (with differents parts
in linked pages - incomplete translation from the French)
Antispirituality site with a global presentation of my worldview (a rationalist one, answering to many essential questions that religions deal with)
Moral philosophy
The cult of the violent social paralysis
Singles Union, with a series of texts about the problem of loneliness.
In French I have many other texts, of maths, philosophy, economics...
Here are a few examples:
- My story together with many thoughts about the sense of life
- One metaphysics text (concepts of metaphysics about God and immateriality of the soul, addressed to the atheists that are
interested to put in clear what this means);
- A text on chance, freedom and destiny. In particular, some argumentation about
the role of chance in involuntary celibacy and its injustice is
developed.

For girls that may be interested to write me I put more
info on myself here.
Note (december 2007): I ALWAYS answer EMAIL MESSAGES (well, possibly
except if a Christian person wants to reconvert me) but I NEVER answer ANYTHING THAT IS NOT AN EMAIL MESSAGE, like an invitation to register somewhere. If you did not
receive a reply after you wrote me, it means that there is a technical
problem with email. Please make sure that your return email address is
working. (In case it is my gmail account that deletes messages, you can drop me a message in facebook (profile.php?id=1071518302), though it's not my normal way of communicating). Thank you.
